About

Lionel Tertis is regarded as 'the father of the viola'. Although he was not its inventor, he was the first musician to perform internationally as a soloist on this marvelously multifaceted instrument and to inspire leading composers to produce music for it. While retracing his path, the viola player on this recording, Christian Euler, chanced on three English compositions by Bliss, Bax and Vaughan Williams.

With delight, he presents these rediscoveries with the critically acclaimed pianist Paul Rivinius. The works could not be more different, and display the viola’s overwhelming potential in all its great breadth.
